Julianne Moore recently shared that she is “stunned” to learn that President Donald Trump’s conservative administration has “banned” her 2007 children’s book, “Freckleface Strawberry,” from schools around the world that are operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity, or DoDEA.

On Sunday, the Oscar winner posted an image on Instagram shared by literary and free expression group PEN America from its account on the social media platform, which showed the cover of “Freckleface Strawberry” along with the words “banned by the Department of Defense.”

The coming-of-age story, which prompted a series of follow-ups since 2007, was inspired by Moore’s upbringing. In a caption for her post, she explained that she wrote the book for her children “to remind them that we all struggle, but are united by our humanity and community.”

“Freckleface Strawberry is a semi-autobiographical story about a seven year old girl who dislikes her freckles but eventually learns to live with them when she realizes that she is different ‘just like everybody else,’” Moore wrote.

“I am particularly stunned because I am a proud graduate of Frankfurt American High School, a #DOD school that once operated in Frankfurt, Germany,” she said. “I grew up with a father who is a Vietnam veteran and spent his career in the #USArmy.”

“It is galling for me to realize that kids like me, growing up with a parent in the service and attending a [DoDEA] school will not have access to a book written by someone whose life experience is so similar to their own,” she added.

An agency that is a part of the Department of Defense, the DoDEA manages 161 schools for children of military families worldwide, according to its website.

The Defense Department stated in a memo last week obtained by The Guardian that library books “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology topics” were being examined, with Moore’s book among “a small number” kept for “further review.”

And in a statement to CNN, DoDEA spokesperson Will Griffin said that no books had been banned yet but did not confirm if “Freckleface Strawberry” was removed from schools overseen by the agency. The statement also did not offer details on how long the review would last.

“I can’t help but wonder what is so controversial about this picture book that [causes] it to be banned by the US Government,” Moore wrote elsewhere in her post’s caption. “I am truly saddened and never thought I would see this in a country where freedom of speech and expression is a constitutional right.”

Her surprise was echoed in the post’s comments section by actors, influencers and fellow authors, who balked at the ongoing efforts from Republican politicians claiming to protect free speech while banning books.

“Oh my friend this is frightening! I’m so sorry this is happening!!” Halle Berry wrote.

In another comment, reality television producer Andy Cohen said, “What an absolute joke. The party of free speech banning books.”
